Democratic Opinion Freely Expressed
F. S. Slntor, Canyon City, Oro.
It in clear that tho politicians and
many editors aro exorcised ovor
something thoy expect to happen in
in tho not distant future. What is
it? Tho question, '"who shall bo
tho nominoos" rovoals their fears. In
most Instances It is being put and
answered In tho same breath to tho
solf-doluslon of tho questioner and
for tho purposo of constructing an
argument with which to deceivo and
divert readors from tho real Issues.
Ho scolcs to divert attention from
principlo to personality. Tho ques
tion so put and so profoundly dis
cussod by tho typical subsidized
pross need bo given but littlo con
sideration to oxposo tho motives of
many who aro propounding it. Tho
roal questions, that which thoy do not
Book to discuss, and tho ono really
being considorod by tho people, is not
who shall bo nominated, but, "what
shall bo nominated." Tho signs of
tho times point unmistakably to tho
nomination of principle by tho de
mocracy onco again instead of tho
man. Principlo is first every time
in tho mind of tho informed voter
these days. Let not the subsidized
press deceivo itself into believing
that it is succeeding now to such
a degreo as it has in tho past in
befogging issues. Democrats who
experienced tho last four campaigns
aro informed upon what Is doing and
realize fully what will be attempted
in tho next national convention. Tho
noxt democratic national convention
shaft not bo "Parkorized," as was
a former one, without a protest from
those millions of democrats who have
voted consistently in past campaigns,
notable campaigns in which Mr.
Bryan was clearly tho leader of oil
who participated. Mr. Bryan was
not tho controlling factor in
tho vote of those campaigns and
is not now. It has been rubbed into
representatives of the interests that
there is principlo controlling that
closely aligned vote and they seek
every means to divert discussion of
the principlo. Their most frequently
iterated slogan is "Bryanism." This

expression is being worked to a
frazzle in the attempt to make per
sonality take the place of principles.
They should delude themselves no
longer for notice is being served
daily upon them and all who would
follow them, that the same force
that spoke so plainly through late
democratic platforms will again find
expression and receive the same
backing. Mr. Bryan is nothing to
that power. He was its implement
and it knows how to find another
one that will serve its purpose when
needed. The platform is already
made. The principles of which it is
composed aro in daily discussion
throughout the land. Tho democrats,
the followers of so-called insurgency,
many independents and all who
occupy the more humble stations and
walk in the ranks understand that
the Issue is, "Shall the big moneyed
interests be allowed to continue in
tho control of our law-making body?"
It will require no learned professor
to indict upon paper the true demo
cratic platform that is already before
the people. And when the time is
ripe an exponent of the principles
will be placed forward and told in
no uncertain terms what will be ex
pected of him. Let those who would
attempt to galvanize over our next
platform to make it appear some
thing It Is not, remember that the
millions who voted thrice for prin
ciple will vote again; and, since the
man will be a secondary matter, a
way will be at hand to enforce his
compliance with instructions so plain
ly given. To that end, a lesson lately
given by the voice of the people for
a disregarded instruction will make
for a prompt compliance.
think it wise for Mr. Bryan to again
become a candidate but theso gentle
men may compel us to take up Mr.
Bryan bodily and force him to
lead us.
J. A. Russell, Alma, Neb. I see
by the papers the ' trust papers are
busy looking for a trust candidate
for 1912 and are very eager to read
Mr. Bryan out of the party. They
say ho has been dead politically now
three times, but they will find a real
live corpse in 1912. If Wall Sreet
will look back to 1894, then go way
back and sit down. If they think
they can turn the party over to the
trusts they are fooling themselves,
the people are doing their own
thinking. We have one trust party.
We can vote it if we want trusts, the
republicans and their tariff trust
robberies are making socialists by
the thousands and if we can get no
relief from democracy we will vote
the socialist ticket which, will soon
be in power unless there is a change
soon. The people have been robbed
long enough and demand relief.
Teddy, with his big stick, was bust
ing trusts for seven years and when
he went out of office there was more
and bigger trusts than ever before
known. He thought he could lead
the insurgents back to the fold but
it was no go, so Teddy has nothing
to say. The people want an income
tax. Why don't they call the tariff
